Lately, I've been reading a lot of historical fiction, specifically the Sharpe's series by Bernard Cornwell. I had to smile at this line in the Historical Note section of Sharpe's Tiger (HarperCollins, 1997). "I changed the nature of that explosion, and delayed it by two days, because fictional heroes must be given suitable employment."
How did he know my fictional heroes and I have been lollygagging in a very rough first draft? Pay attention, boys. It's time to get back to work!
